A forest of trees!

It’s “Dress Like a Tree Day” at Khan Academy.  Thank you Miss Marcia Lee for cultivating our inner saplings as a precursor to our healthy hackathon.  

Wondering how dressing like a tree works?  Well, check out the instructions we received, along with a few pics capturing the forest that appeared today!

Take a look at the forest of KA-ers!  

There were so many amazing trees. Among our favorite trees were these:

Can’t beat actual foliage and a fierce forest face

The upside-down tree!

My favorite treetops!

This tree typed up a storm with his twiggy branches

And this tree even participated from his remote locale with a pinecone and the best tree pose of the day! 

Of course, I had to participate in the treeness. 

Trees out!
